af-estimate-effort

To estimate effort and convert hours to Linear story points, this approach decomposes work into functional areas and roles, estimates hours per area, then maps total hours to a Fibonacci story point scale.

Role-based decomposition breaks down feature effort into functional areas like frontend, backend, infrastructure, testing, UX, and documentation, assigning roles to ensure comprehensive and accurate estimations.

Break down feature work by assigning functional areas such as FE, BE, INFRA, TEST, UX, and DOCS. Apply role-based decomposition to estimate hours for each area before sprint planning.

Yes, the estimation framework includes specific heuristics for various change types and accounts for testing overhead to provide more accurate effort calculations for sprint planning.

The best way to estimate separate backend and frontend effort is using role-based decomposition, which splits work into distinct functional areas like BE and FE to calculate hours independently before aggregating story points.
